Consider how to retrieve information about storage devices on dedicated servers.
We can get the information we need from lsblk, which is the default built-in utility for most Linux distributions.

And we’ll get something like this:
That’s exactly what we need. For each physical drive, there’s a serial number. Speaking of physical drives, do not try to get a serial number on virtual servers (VDS), we will not get it because of the virtual drives, not their physical presence. The conclusion would be that:
